By doing this we allow for carefully thought out changes to our UX user experience and build off the data that is collected from our testing to better understand user behavior.

Driving ads to a well-optimized landing page for the primary keyword with a conversion opportunity is always best practice when it comes to AdWords. If this is a possibility within your industry and business model, I highly recommend using a landing page over your homepage in almost every circumstance.

If you have addressed this in your ad copy that showed for the intended keyword it is very important that that message, that solution carry all the way through to your landing page.
Without carrying that through you risk the visitor becoming confused or irritated and quickly leaving. AdWords has many built-in reporting tools that can provide tons of insight not only into how your ads are performing but also other opportunities for testing and optimization. One of the staple reports I review almost daily is the Search Terms report. This is the quickest way to see how your ads performed when triggered by an actual search term and exactly what that term was.
By reviewing this often you are able to find issues fast and also hidden gems that as we mentioned before could lead to a brand new ad group or even campaign. Trust me when I say, you will be amazed at the insight this report provides and how it can help you increase CTR and reduce wasted spend.
